I agree with that...and my point was that when on the cusp of gaining such a unique talent...it just seems something happens to prevent it. That is all...nothing related to this particular recruit or Iowa. Just many decades of following Iowa State.
All programs have the rug pulled out from under them from time to time. Recruiting under Prohm though has been pretty strait forward and has major wins vs programs above the level of EIU, Wigginton, THT and Griffin.
The only player I thought was going to be a Cyclone under the current staff was Juiston, I don't see Running Rebel as the same type of threat as a Hok. As much as Hok fans keep saying Fran taking the Murray twin is unrelated normal basketball fans it is pretty telling to me considering Fran talked with XF late last week days before their commitment.
